    I don't like making a judgement I don't want to make. Besides, you may be living in a dream world if you ignore the current political climate of the world. What we don't need is another polarizing judgement against people who are essentially our brothers. If we don't treat jews as normal people, they will remind themselves of the suppression they faced in the past, and reinforce it in the present, by suppressing the palestinians, lebanese, etc...

    Let us aim for peace, despite our gaming love for war.

    The guy isn't being anti semetic, just asking opinions on an idea for the game. The medieval period shouldn't be glossed over, it was a time of massacre, siege, battle, religious turmoil and crusade. I think the idea is fine, not anit anything in my opinion. It is after all a game, there is no need to bring modern problems into it.
